Now I have a question why is someone's attraction to someone else influenced by that persons race ?



What a stupid question.


Then it should be easy to answer ?

It's influenced by a great many things, especially physical appearance (at least with regard to initial visual impressions, which are a pretty significant deal when it comes to attraction). And if someone notices (whether subconsciously or not) that they don't feel that sort of sexual attraction when they view people typically included as members of a certain race, then their conclusion may very well be that they don't find "x" race attractive.

As for why different people find themselves attracted to different features in the first place, that's an extremely complex question that doesn't have a lot of clear answers but a lot of varying statistics with only a handful of apparent universals (like symmetry).

Though I wasn't responding to your post specifically and was more responding to the general notion that the racism vs sexism comparison was inappropriate, it seems to me that the statement in question is assuming that the reasoning behind it is rooted in attraction.

I haven't seen many people say it's not racist to refuse to date someone based on race for other reasons.

I've seen some reasoning as to why people refuse to have interracial relationships - "cultural differences", how they might be perceived by others, they want their kids to "look like them", want their kids to "share their culture", etc.


Those are while I would date white women, I'd prefer my child's mother to be black or Afro Latina

I've heard those concerns as well (and even experienced them used against me); but depending on the environment, some of those may simply be unfortunate but fairly reasonable concerns. Not necessarily racist. Although, I will admit that the line between racist and not racist when it comes to that line of reasoning is much, much thinner.

See you're talking about different features that are common with races im talking about race itself

To say you don't find anyone of a race attractive is to say I could put your "dream" girl in front of your face but she identifies as a race you don't prefer and you wouldn't date her cause of it.


We're talking about races that have largerly varying features within them, to not be attracted to an entire race Is to either sterotype a races features or to have a negative connotation to that race regardless of features.

Except that's not how people think when it comes to attraction. It's not actually some calculated process. It's intuitive. They intuit trends in what they are attracted to and make distinctions based on that. The statement that someone doesn't find anyone of a particular race attractive is simply to say they haven't found them attractive and assume that to be the case in general. Which is a totally normal thing that people do all the time for a variety of things when it comes to attraction. You cannot put someone's "dream girl" in front of them excluding race, because that would by definition not constitute that person's "dream girl."

And again, I have to bring up the comparison to sexes. There is a far, far greater variety among an entire sex than there is between an entire race. Nobody has met every single person of said sex; and, therefore, it should be just as reasonable to say that we're stereotyping sexes and choosing to or not to date them because of it. And yet we don't do that. We don't say that's sexist despite the fact that it's what the vast majority of people do.

Instead, we accept that people are attracted to who they are attracted to for largely not understood (even by the person themselves) reasons that have been intuited by the individual. Whether or not someone is racist is separate from that.

If someone could make a legitimate argument to support their racism, maybe these topics wouldn't need to continue being made.
